This month's cover highlights the article Host inflammatory dynamics reveal placental immune modulation by Group B Streptococcus during pregnancy by Itai Yanai and colleagues. Analyses of placental responses in an ascending infection model reveal that mice infected with a Group B Streptococcus (GBS) toxin knockout strain show a milder tissue-level phenotype but their innate immune cells exhibit more inflammation than wildtype GBS-infected counterparts.
